• What are some good community colleges in Dallas or fort worth texas? The first answer is that the local community colleges are all good. I happen to believe the Collin County College is stellar. And boy, what a bargain: my son took three courses at "Quad C" (CCCC = Collin County Community College), and I laughed out loud while I wrote the tuition check (he's about to graduate from a private school in Tennessee).
  
  However, you get your best break on tuition if you live (and have lived for a while) in the district for the community college you are planning to attend. That is, if you want to attend Quad C, consider moving to Collin County instead of Dallas County.
  
  Also, look into what sort of partnerships the community colleges have with local schools that have nursing programs, because if they've done it right, all of your courses will transfer it (they'll fit into the degree plan). Of course, that also means shopping the universities that offer nursing degrees. I believe (but don't know) that two of the best nursing schools locally are in Denton, and I don't know the differences in their costs or reputations.
• Trying to find a good college in Arlington, Fort Worth, Lexington, or Crowley Texas? If you want to be an RN, you should look at North Texas, UT Arlington, Southwestern, Baylor School of nursing, or start at one of the junior colleges to get your basics. Brookhaven College has an excellent associates degree nursing program that is a great step into a full RN. Tarrant County CC has the same.
  
  Most freshmen do not qualify for campus apartments but there are always rentals near campus; however, I hope you know that by not living in the dorm or with roommates you will be missing out on one of the best part of the college experience. Believe me, there is plenty of "boyfriend visiting" that can be worked out with your roomies. Junior Colleges do not have dorms so you will have to get an apartment if you are not living at home.
• Finding an Industrial Maintenance mechanic/technician job? There is no waste when it comes to education. The economy is horrible even tho you may be in one of the best employment areas, there is still a lot of competition. It is an employer's market now, there are more people with degrees and experience than ever before and they don't need to give anyone a chance. It is hard for those trying to get their boot in the door. I suggest that you volunteer to get experience and networking possibilities. I also think you should keep applying and trying. More education? I don't know, I will suggest that you take an aptitude test. An aptitude test assesses your skills and your interests and matches you to the careers that are right for you. A college adviser can recommend a good one. Failing that, go to the workforce development agency (unemployment) and request one. JobFit is excellent. Perhaps there is something else out there that you haven't considered that would be a good fit for your training and abilities. Hope I helped.
• help! with nursing I don't know where.....? Its best to go to college as early as possible after graduation, but life's complicated, so do the best you can. If you want to be a nurse I would try for RN that's where most of the opportunities are. To get lesser certifications is OK if you are really stuck financially or have hard time making grades, but those education credits do not transfer well towards a RN degree.
  
  Try not to be to hard on yourself. Good luck.
